The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



Mabch 7, 1912. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The Market. 



With the great carnival festivities 

 at an end, the dull lenten season is 

 upon us, to be enlivened only by several 

 big weddings and entertainments on 

 St. Joseph's day, March 19. The back- 

 bone of the winter is broken at last, 

 and only forcing stock for Easter, roses 

 and tender stove plants require firing 

 during the night. All the growers made 

 big preparations for the Easter trade 

 and look forward to the same good 

 business as in years gone by, but sales 

 down here for that occasion can not be 

 compared with those up north. Local 

 grown stock of cut flowers is at times 

 plentiful, but moving slowly; flowering 

 plants find a good demand at fair prices. 



The present weather conditions are 

 ideal and outdoor spring planting is 

 progressing nicely. The reports from 

 the landscape gardeners and truck 

 farmers are satisfactory in regard to 

 moving of stock on hand. 



Various Notes. 



Abele Bros, are doing a big shipping 

 business in all kinds of nursery stock 

 as well as vegetable plants. 



Chas. Eble is the proud owner of 

 the first florist's delivery auto here; a 

 White steamer, forty, horse-power. It 

 serves a triple purpose, as open truck, 

 panel body or touring car. 



C. W. Eichling has a fine lot of For- 

 mosa lilies and giganteums ready to 

 cut and in bud. 



J. A. Newsham's orchids are a beau- 

 tiful sight to behold, and it is no won- 

 der the cut blooms are always in de- 

 mand. 



Chris Eeuter, the largest receiver and 

 shipper of early vegetables in this part 

 of the country, reports a rushing busi- 

 ness, with prices firm, especially for 

 bunch vegetables. 



U. J. Virgin made the elaborate dec- 

 orations for the automobile show held 

 here recently. 



Visitors: John Zech, and his daugh- 

 ter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. James 

 Cunningham, of Chicago; T. E. Waters,
